Quilted Cards

 I adore making sewing themed cards!  I pulled out the gorgeous October Afternoon 'Farmhouse' papers (from many moons ago...), and got busy die cutting.

The frames and squares are the Quilted Frames Dies from Waffle Flower - a little finicky to assemble (don't look too close!), but the result is so lovely.

I used the Needleworker Tool Kit dies from Spellbinders to cut out all the notions - using some brushed silver cardstock for the metallic items.

I had some already pressed sentiments using the You Are Everything Betterpress plate, done on cream cardstock with black ink, and added them with some foam adhesive.

You're Sew Amazing!

It's my sister's birthday today!  I stenciled up this panel using the Rose Tapestry stencils from The Greetery with Distress Oxide inks many months ago, and have been collecting sewing themed products since then - so finally got it made up into a card.

I ran my panel through my die cut machine with the Starshine Background cover plate from Spellbinders, to give it a bit of texture, then added the Waffle Flower Quilted Frames Die cut from bright blue cardstock, to make it look like a quilt - and mounted it on a coordinating green cardstock.

It's my first time using the Needleworker Tool Kit dies from Spellbinders, so I cut out the spool, needle and scissors to coordinate.  

I pulled out the small alphabet dies from Art Impressions to spell out my inside greeting, as I didn't own it in stamp form.  Loving sewing themed cards lately, so you'll be seeing more from me this summer :-)
